Oh I don't expect it to be any better than, say, an ISO 6400 image underexposed by two stops then increased by two stops in post processing, but it has bugged me forever that I don't get the option to do it this easy way.
And yeah, I'd really rather see MTFs for each ISO instead of just arbitrary numbers which have no obligation to relate to the real world.
the 1DsmkIII is $8000 and definitely full frame. they don't say it'll do 6400 even, but with the right glass, well, it's going to see into black holes anyway.
from pictures i've seen, you almost don't NEED iso 6400 unless you're say, shooting non moving objects at midnite, but use super fast glass, and a tripod (even with IS) and well, shrug.
i have to hit the gym, but i'll look at the reviews in a bit...
the 5D is a good camera... the 5DmkII should be very good at around $3000-3500 next spring :)

OTOH, I'd like to see sensor tests before going "ooooh, shiny."

And how many years might we expect to see such technologies trickle down to affordable consumer models?
